Revumenib, Azacitidine, and Venetoclax for the Treatment of Patients with Newly Diagnosed KMT2A Translocated Acute Myeloid Leukemia, RAVEN Trial

Trial Status: approved

This phase II trial studies how well revumenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax work in treating newly diagnosed KMT2A translocated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients with KMT2A-translocated AML have a poor prognosis with conventional therapy. There is a high unmet need to develop novel treatment strategies to improve clinical outcomes in newly diagnosed KMT2A-translocated AML. Finding alternative treatments that lead to high rates of clinical activity with less toxicity and mortality would be an important therapeutic advancement for this patient population. Revumenib is a drug that targets the KMT2A translocation and it blocks a protein called menin from attaching to the KMT2A translocated gene. This stops cancer cells from growing. Azacitidine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving revumenib, azacitidine, and venetoclax may work better in treating patients with KMT2A translocated AML.
